The Virtual Paintout is an art challenge where one uses Google Street View at a specific location to find a scene to paint or draw. We have gone to the Philadelphia area this month.  I wandered around the streets looking for something to paint. I found this scene in Darby, near the city limits. The sun was just coming up, and one side of the street was bright, while the other side was still in near darkness. The water tower hovering above added to the charm. Here's the link - you can see how I painted it!

This piece is painted on all sides of the canvas, so it could be framed, or you could hang it up, just as it is.

Trumbull Street Underpass,

The Virtual Paintout took a staycation this month and only traveled as far as Detroit. There were so many things to paint, big city buildings, some nice houses, some ruined ones, lots of industrial sites and some interesting examples of Americana and its curiosities. Looking at the work submitted by the different artists, you can see what I mean. Personally, I was really in a mood to paint trees, and discovered that the railroad tracks have lots of greenery around the underpasses. When I found this water tower peeking out through the trees, I knew I'd found my spot!
